I)I am sending Tinsky with additions (something at least should be
said in theanti-S.R.vein, otherwise it isnota
Social-Democratic piece of writing. And your “mottoes” are no good
besides). (Mottoes, if needed, should bedifferent.)

2)Ihave started to write “about Kautskyism” for Russian
collections.[3]I havealreadywritten you this.

3)Ishall try and sit down soon to write a reply to
Yuri.[4]

4) 1,500copiesof the collections will beenough.

5)Rethe 2nd collection, I amagainstdeciding right
away. Grisha’s letter is not clear: 500 frs.+paper? Am writing
him.Let’s wait for his reply. The devil take him!! He isn’t clear
about it!!

6)Putin Saf—chik on theDuma group(as the item on the
prisoners of war is already set up and will goinde).[1]

7)Rethe article on the women’s movement, I havealreadywritten you about my doubts (send in
			       de Ms,[2]there is little space).Instead of answering, you write:
“commissioned”, although you know that I did not commission it!! This is
an omission. If an article isn’t written, one shouldfirstlet one
know the subject, plan and details, before advising to write it.

8)Rethe national question, I wouldvery muchlike to
republish self-determination with anaddition. WouldVolnaundertake it?Did you write to them about it?

9)TheGnevich

clear. What have you written him?

Bestregards,Lenin

[3]Leninintended to have the article on Kautskyism published in the
symposiumPod Starym Znamenem, but its publication was
discontinued after the appearance of the first issue. The Central Party
Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism have a plan of the article
headed by Lenin, “On Kautskyism” (seeLenin Miscellany XXX,
pp. 133–34). A special work on Kautsky was written by Lenin in 1918 (see
“The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky”, present edition,
Vol. 28. pp. 227–325).

[4]Thisrefers to Lenin’s article “Reply to P. Kievsky (Y. Pyatakov)”
(see present edition, Vol. 23, pp. 22–27).

Points4–7 refer toSbornik Sotsial-Demokrata. Point 5 refers
to Belenky’s proposal that the second issue ofSbornikshould be
published in Paris. Safarov’s articles were not published in the
collections. The article about the women’s movement was that by Zinaida
Lilina.

[5]Gnevich—pseudonym of Fabierkiewicz, a leader of the Polish
labour movement, who was in Petrograd at the time. Two issues of the
journalZycie(Life) in the Polish language were published in 1916
with his co-operation.

[6]No.2ofSbornik Sotsial-Demokratacarried an article by
Henriette Roland-Holst “Ambiguous Position”, which was a translation of
an article published in the newspaperDe Tribuneon August 22,
1918.
